There are certain teams and certain eras that I know have not been fully researched. I tackled two of those today: Upton in the late ’50s and early ’60s, and Pine Bluffs in the mid-’60s.
Almost all of the games I was missing for Upton involved South Dakota opponents. Thanks to the research I did today, I’ve added or put a score into a blank space for the following games:
A 27-6 win over Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 13, 1963
A 41-14 loss to the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 10, 1963
A 21-0 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 18, 1963
A 31-0 loss to Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 15, 1961
A 21-13 loss to the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 12, 1961
A 13-0 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 20, 1961
A 33-26 loss to Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 16, 1960
A 26-13 win over Rapid City Cathedral, S.D., on Oct. 21, 1960
A 42-6 win over Edgemont, S.D., on Sept. 18, 1959
A 27-12 win over the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 15, 1959
A 21-6 loss to Buffalo on Oct. 3, 1958
A 38-0 win over the Rapid City, S.D., JV on Oct. 17, 1958
I also found the correct location for the Nov. 1, 1957 game between Upton and Midwest; it was in Upton.
As for Pine Bluffs, it gets kind of tricky. The Hornets were a member of the “Minuteman Conference,” made up of teams from western Nebraska, for a couple years. That makes tracking down results a little bit tougher. Even so, three games were added today:
A 47-25 win over Lodgepole, Neb., on Oct. 27, 1965
A 26-0 win over Dalton, Neb., on Sept. 18, 1964
A 19-12 loss to Lodgepole, Neb., on Oct. 7, 1964
I also tried to do some research on Jackson in the mid-60s, but ran into more questions than answers. I added a 19-0 loss to Montpelier, Idaho, on Oct. 28, 1966, but also came up short on games in two weeks that were originally listed as byes: a game with the Rock Springs JV on Oct. 15, 1966, and a game with Montpelier on Oct. 27, 1967.
I also added Lingle’s 13-7 win over the Cheyenne Central sophomores on Oct. 17, 1964, noted the correct location for the Oct. 23, 1965 game between Glendo and the Natrona JV (it was in Casper) and noted the Sept. 25, 1964 game between Guernsey-Sunrise and Huntley was played in Torrington (it was Torrington’s off week and Huntley’s homecoming).
I also corrected two entries. The Oct. 22, 1994 game between Wind River and the Riverton sophs was corrected with the right score (20-0 Wind River); I had originally listed a 20-20 tie but I’ve known for quite a while that it was a typo. I finally corrected it today after tracking down the right score. I also removed a duplicate entry of a game from October 1981 between Lovell and Greybull. The correct entry, for Oct. 14, was retained, while an erroneous entry on Oct. 16 was removed.
The removal of that game caused Greybull’s losing streak from 1978-82 to change again, dropping back to 27 games. That, again, has been updated on the streaks page.
All other corrections and new entries are now reflected on the relevant pages.
